Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the butter. Let it cool slightly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until thoroughly combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little oil.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using approximately 1/2 cup for each waffle, but adjust based on your waffle iron's size.
Cook the waffles until they are crisp and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes, or according to your waffle iron's instructions.
Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the red velvet waffles with your choice of toppings, such as whipped cream, cream cheese glaze, or fresh berries.
